E92 M3 H&R sport springs; Active Autowerke SSK; Macht Schnell spacers install

I thought I'd post here, as the general forums are clogged with threads like mine.



The premise:

Get all the crap put on in one shot.

The result:

100 % perfection.


First picture will be the "pre" and the next one will be the "post". Be aware that the car may settle a couple of mm more, but will probably not be noticeable...alignment in a 2-3 weeks from now.




















Pictures of the stock shift position; first gear and second gear.




After AA SSK:





You can't really see the difference the SSK makes, but trust me, the throw is shorter and the feel is more solid.

The car is essentially stock quiet at highway cruising speeds (thank goodness), but at WOT the car sound likes an F1 car.....pure sex.

Great shots - with springs, spacers and a new shifter, this should feel like a whole new animal.

Car looks great! The drop and spacers sure makes a difference.

+1 on the SSK. Just had mine put in today and the difference really is amazing. Anyone on the fence should really just do it - well worth it!

SSK makes a massive difference for sure. I've had a UUC in my possession for months but haven't installed it because I'm waiting for them to release the DSSR and don't want to do the install twice. Shouldn't be too long.

As for spacers and drop; I would do it but I'm just worried about the long term reliability of EDC and I don't want things scraping.

DSSR - Double Shear Selector Rod

Take a look here, something you may or may not want to add if you already have a UUC

15 mm front and 10 mm rear.

I am very happy with my choice. Perfect fit!

Although many now say 12 mm rear is nicer....but I am content!
